Adventure and soul are the things that drive me to create. When I thought about having a session here, I was excited again. I was renewed. Leslie and her family explored, adventured and loved on each other in the fields by the mountains and we had the best time as you can see from their gorgeous gallery and slideshow.

This adventure engagement session took place just outside Cheyenne, in a wide-open landscape that felt completely our own. What began as a rerouted plan turned into a full day of hiking, exploration, and connection, the start of a story that continued into Shelby and Brady’s wedding day.

This boho-inspired family session took place in Colorado Springs, surrounded by open space and mountain views. Having worked with this family before, this session celebrates connection, growth, and the beauty that unfolds when relationships are built over time.

Neighborhood rainbow hunts are something communities across the world are doing in order to spread love and hope for all that pass by. Yesterday, we rolled up our sleeves to spread joy and happiness. Our twins (I am a bonus mama to them, did you know that?), Emma and Jack painted their own versions of happiness with rainbows. Here is their love for you during this COVID-19 mess.

This Colorado mountain session was created as an act of self-love and personal branding, a non-traditional portrait experience rooted in identity, culture, and reflection.

When Diana suggested hosting her fall family session at home, I wasn’t sure what to expect, until I arrived to sweeping Front Range views and space made for wandering.

While traveling for photography work, I spent a quiet day alone exploring the shoreline and streets of Oceanside with my camera in hand.

This post shares why Click continues to stand out, from its women-led perspective to its backend tools, learning opportunities, and creative encouragement, alongside a quiet still-life project inspired by the magazine itself.

It was just a few short days after Colorado Springs endured a blizzard and the side roads were still partly covered in ice that I made my way to the cozy home of Kristen and Mark to meet their sweet baby, Mr. K. Born at St. Francis Medical Center the week prior, the family was settling into their new routine. I was invited to document the love that was abound. Upon arriving, Kristens dad, Grandpa Dean, welcomed me inside and I could tell this session would be one for the books. Lovely light, lovely family and the sweetest, most perfect boy. The Williams’ home was warm and full of the kind of love you look for in story books.

This project began as an early brand film experiment for Wild Prairie Photography in Colorado Springs, created to explore movement, connection, and visual storytelling beyond still imagery. While the final video itself was not ultimately used, the experience and imagery from this session played an important role in shaping the visual direction of the brand. This post offers a behind-the-scenes look at that process, a reminder that creative growth often comes from experimentation, discernment, and the lessons learned along the way.

In 2015, shortly after moving to Colorado Springs, I encountered the Ringling Bros. circus train stopped beneath the Uintah Street bridge, a moment so surreal it demanded to be documented. This personal project became more than still-life photography; it marked a turning point, a reclaiming of power, and the beginning of a new journey forward.

On January 21, 2017, thousands gathered in Colorado Springs as part of the nationwide Women’s March. This post documents the day in full, a peaceful, powerful gathering rooted in solidarity, protest, and collective voice. Photographed in a raw, documentary style, these images are preserved as both a record of the moment and a reflection on what it meant to stand together.

I’ve never been known for keeping plants alive, until this moment. This personal project documents a quiet afternoon in our first apartment in Colorado Springs, watching my son Ellis plant a small succulent and, unknowingly, plant the beginning of something bigger. A soft, ordinary season that eventually turned me into a full-fledged plant mama.

We love drive-in nights, blankets piled in the back of the car, sneaking in candy, and still splurging on funnel cake fries. This sunset visit to the Mesa Drive-In in Pueblo, Colorado was a personal project with my kids, Emma and Ellis, running free in the open lot before the movies began. Quiet, unhurried evenings like this are a reminder of why I love photographing families the way I do, playful, present, and rooted in real moments.
